You should read the novel The Subtweet by Vivek Shraya.

Here’s why:

  1. You’re a creative — this book explores very common (I think!!) but little-discussed feelings of creative competitiveness and insecurity, particularly between friends
  2. You care about social media and mental health — this book is about social media’s capriciousness and destructiveness
  3. You think women are neat — this book is about female friendship
  4. You care about musicians’ wellness — this book contrasts the realities of semi-celebrities who have proximity to fame and glamour despite also having day jobs and roommates
  5. You’re trans — the author and one of the protagonists are trans women (though the novel isn’t really about that)
  6. You’re a Twitter veteran — This book was written during and about the pre-Elon period and it’s worth remembering what the hell it was that we survived


Do you ever think about how in 1997, the Goo Goo Dolls guy wrote a song that was supposed to be about a NICHOLAS CAGE MOVIE (“City of Angels”) where Cage deciding to stop being AN ANGEL in order to be with Meg Ryan (which, fair) and wrote like one of the queerest songs ever to do numbers on the 90s Billboard

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now…

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
